I bought two bottles today one to drink now and one to drink with some of my homeade sausage German potato salad and spoetzl.Pours into a 1/2 liter stein a light to medium golden with a hint of honey color,a large blooming bone white head atop that settles slowly.Cleaner aromas with light toasted grain and mild honey-like funky sweetness.Flavors are also cleaner but with some bread dough and more honey sweetness,a light mineral note underneath.Not much in the frills department here but Iam not looking for that with this beer,I just wanted a good food friendly German lager and I got it.

Pale yellow color with medium retention head that dissipates leaving a somewhat persistent layer of bubbles on top of the beer throughout the drinking. Smell malty, crackery with faint grassy notes. A tiny citrous component as well. The taste is sweeter than expected, very malty, bready, almonds with a faint earthy component. Relatively persistent in the aftertaste. Fizzy carbonation and medium body. Pleasant.

Very clear pale yellow, it shows a decent white head with good retention and nice lacing. Clean in the nose, i smell grains, grass, lemon and a hint of honey. The taste is a blend of malts, hops and lemon which stays uniform all along, with only a little sweetness in the background. It finishes dry with almost no aftertaste. Crispy mouthfeel, thin to medium body and great drinkability.

A lighter Helles which i find it to be slightly on the hoppy side and finely complements other offerings from this brewery. It will pair great with a wide variety of foods.

Light gold with a frothy white head, very slight floral/honey aroma. This is a very light, crisp, straightforward helles. Balance is good, malts are citruslike but feint, hops are subtle and floral. I suspect this may be a beer that serves well when fresh on tap, but it's simply too refined/subtle for even a helles and pilsner fan like me to find satisfying. It's like a "light" version of a helles . . . a step too far.

Poured from the 500ml bottle into a Pilsner Urquell stange. Body is a deep golden color, topped by a tall, wispy white head that leaves some good lacing on the glass. Sweet aroma of bready malt, a good bit of caramel, and a hint of mild, fruity hops. Palate is mostly sweet, bready malt up front, with notes of caramel and just a hint of toffee. Some mild fruity hops come through towards the finish, leaving a bit of lingering bitterness on the finish. Body is light and ever-so-slgihtly sticky. This low-alcohol offering is definitely quaffable, and I'll probably be having more than a few of theses during the summer months.

The aroma holds sweet malt and some grassy hops along with some mild honey notes added to the mix. Bright golden/yellow with a lasting, two finger thick white head. Sweet honey-tinged malt fore. Grassy hops and bready maltiness are pervasive. Smooth on the tongue with a slight bitterness in the finish. German beers are all well made, but it amazes me how similar in taste different styles can be.

Pours a beautiful, clear straw gold color with a big pillowy white head that sticks fairly well. A nice biscuity maltiness in the nose with some very weak hop presence as well. Big sweet maltiness from the start. Not big as in overpowering but definitely most of the taste. There is a nice, lighter, hop underprofile which keeps it just in balance. Nice sweet maltiness but not to the point of being cloying, medium body and fairly refreshing. Yet another nice beer from this brewery, I definitely suggest trying some of their products.

Presented in a 500ml bottle just like the one pictured. Poured into an imperial pint glass. The coloration was a slightly hazed pale gold with moderate carbonation and topped by a brilliant white head that almost looked fake. Scant wisps of lace speckled the glass as the head gradually collapsed down to a thin collar.
The nose was unassuming and, aside from some fruitiness and floral notes, was really marginal. A lurking sour aroma caught my attention and was not well received. The taste luckily didn't carry the sourness picked up in the smell. Some modest sweet malt flavor made its presence felt before the gradual build-up of herbal hops commenced. Some light citrus flavor was noted also. The feel was light, crisp and clean.
This must be what Germans have in mind as a lawnmower bier. Light, refreshing but not sporting a whole lot of taste. Still, on a hot day I'd wouldn't mind reaching for one of these.

So quaffable, clean and balanced. It's sweeter and lighter than Weltenburger's Barock Hell, though it's ultimately still a dry and crisp beer. Doughy pils malt steals the show, but there's a touch of grassy hop flavor, faint sulfur from the yeast. Finishes exceptionally clean, neither dry nor sweet. At the risk of abusing the word, it really is one of the most clean helles lagers I've tried. I'm not sure that I like it quite as much as the more dry and bitter Barock Hell, but it's an awesome beer all the same.

Appearance: yellow/gold, satisfactory head which had adequate staying power.
Smell/Taste/Mouthfeel/Drinkability: There is an annoying sour or "astringent" smell and taste to this beer. It is the prominent note, backed up by bitterness, these are the two strongest characteristics of this beer. Any actual malt and/or hop flavor takes a back seat. Sour and bitter alone are not a pleasant experience and that's what this beer gave. I rarely head for the drain, but I did with this one. Unpleasant.
